Formed in 2009, Yaroslavl's Halter's members came from various other bands such as Heavy/Thrash outfit Gerold and Death Metallers Neophron. Those influences have carried forward into Halter's potent old-school but polished Death/Doom, giving it plenty of body and heaviness> Sombre and unromantic material gives them a similar bleak brutality to older bands like Dusk.
